Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYOur Supporters
We greatly appreciate your interest and contributions. Despite all available therapies, as many as one-third of those with epilepsy continue to have seizures and live each day without effective treatment. Even those who rely on medications to control their seizures have side effects that most of us would find unacceptable. Because of you and your help, we are advancing new treatments for everyone living with epilepsy and helping people find their way to the best available therapies by building the depth and breadth of content and community on epilepsy.com. Contact info@epilepsytherapyproject.org with any questions.

Private
foundations are the essential vehicles through which the most
productive and most fortunate members of our society reinvest in
civilization. The range of commitments is vast - from housing the
homeless to preserving ancient treasures; from feeding the hungry to
curing disease; from reaching out to those in the greatest despair to
sustaining those who seek spiritual enlightenment. These, and everything
in between, are the domain of philanthropy. And private foundations are
the engine that makes possible much of the sustained, long-term
philanthropy that helps so many. What is your vision?
